Copei

The Independent Political Electoral Organization Committee (COPEI) is a Christian democratic political party in Venezuela, founded in 1946. From 1958 to 1998, Copei and Accion Democratica were the dominant parties in the country, buut it only fielded two presidents: its founder Rafael Caldera (1969-1974, 1994-1999) and Luis Herrera Campins (1979-1984). The party declined during the PSUV's rule over Venezuela, and it held no National Assembly seats or governorships as of September 2017; it did, however, hold 15/337 mayorships. The party was associated with the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) coalition.
